royalfan Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 No way I would ever start a thread about creighton here either. And if someone cannot understand the difference between discussing our conference and its departures versus creighton departures they need to us a little more thought.

Nebrasketballer Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Nebraska has more head to head game history with Creighton than they do with any team in the Big Ten. Not to mention the fact that the two universities are an hour away from eachother. I would also imagine that more people posting on this website have more friends and/or coworkers that are fans of Creighton than are fans of Big Ten teams (unless you live outside of the state). If a 2-time All American decides to return to Creighton for his senior season, that has a direct impact on Nebraska and/or the in-state bragging rights for a year. Nebraska and Creighton are the two teams fighting for "King of the hill" status in the state of Nebraska. What happens with one team directly affects the other, as they play eachother on an annual basis in a game that is the biggest (and only major) in-state matchup for both schools. People have no more reason to to get mad about this topic than the threads about other Big Ten players leaving early, or coaching changes at other Big Ten schools, or any other school. Trust me, I hate Creighton just as much, if not more than any poster on this board, but it is ridiculous to pile on someone for starting this topic. By the way, If people are all bent out of shape that someone posted about a player returning to Creighton for his senior season, then it would make sense that a topic about Kansas will receive the same response, so I will be waiting to see if that happens, or if there is another double standard. I'm not bothered in any way about any of these topics, but if people are going to be ridiculous about one topic, it's only fair that they be ridiculous about all similar topics...

Norm Peterson Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 I remember starting a thread about how well we match up with Creighton and there were some on this board who didn't think that was sufficiently Husker related. I guess not this board but the old board. Hey, it's not like we have a whole lot of other action going on here right now. I'm game to discuss it. Let's roll. Quote
royalfan Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 I consider big ten events as ridiculously more relevant to us than creighton. Not even a conversation IMO. Hard to fathom someone thinking otherwise. Silverbacked1 and Creighton Fan 1 1 Quote
Nebrasketballer Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 I consider big ten events as ridiculously more relevant to us than creighton. Not even a conversation IMO. Hard to fathom someone thinking otherwise. Obviously, conference games are more important when it comes to RPI, conference tournament seeding, and NCAA tourney implications. The Nebraska vs Creighton game is all about bragging rights and local media perception. Creighton and Nebraska also have to go head to head for in state recruits. Nebraska also has more history with Creighton than any team in the Big Ten. If your statement is true, then it's interesting to me that any topic about Creighton seems to strike the nerve that it does... Quote
Huskerpapa Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 ...I will say that the kid is rolling the dice in coming back. I am unsure whether his draft stock will ever get higher than it is right now. He very well may prove me wrong, but I do not see him going any higher than late first round. He seems to be a better fit as a role player at the next level. Again, I may be wrong. The downside is that he risks injury. Hate to jinx him, but injuries occur, and they can be devastating. There are examples of it each and every year. Quote

There are examples of it each and every year. I agree. And he will not have the luxury of being the unquestionably best player in his conference next season. Although I would've liked to see him leave, because then Nebraska would have had a much better chance to beat Creighton next season...I am very excited to see how an athletic freak like Pitchford handles being matched up on him for some possessions, because athleticism is not McDermott's game. It will be interesting to see how Nebraska guards him next season. I'm sure Petteway, Rivers, Pitchford, and Shields will all get a crack at him. Quote

If every topic involving Creighton didn't turn into a pissing match, I wouldn't have to move them into the college basketball section. Since this is the offseason I don't really care if people want to obsess over our neighbors to the East. Silverbacked1 and Norm Peterson 2 Quote
sayelr Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 I don't see it as a big deal, but I usually only read (for years), not post. But if I understand correctly from reading this enlightening thread, if I wanted to start a thread about how much I hate Creighton and everything about them and how everyone else should too, I should start it in the college bball forum?

sayelr Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 Haha well I'm certainly no measuring stick on standards of any kind. And I honestly didn't realize there were even other boards till today, Ive just had the Devaney Dungeon bookmarked directly for a long time. I do, really hate Creighton though. Norm Peterson 1 Quote

Not sure where you were, but there were certainly people saying that a thread about this departure belonged as it is the same thing as the thread about our conference departures. Quote
Cousin Mose Posted May 2, 2013 Report Posted May 2, 2013 I just thought I'd pop in and say hello if you all would rather fight with a Creighton fan instead of each other. Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Posted May 2, 2013 I just thought I'd pop in and say hello if you all would rather fight with a Creighton fan instead of each other. Yeah but your the "one" nice Creighton fan that most of us know. I think it is this great weather we are having. I know my students are like lab rats in cages about ready to eat each other. Quote
49r Posted May 2, 2013 Report Posted May 2, 2013 I just thought I'd pop in and say hello if you all would rather fight with a Creighton fan instead of each other. So, then, tell us. Who's more relevant/important to Nebraska? Creighton? Or the Big Ten? Keep in mind, that whatever your answer is, it's wrong! Silverbacked1 1 Quote

Just picked up a nice JUCO. Quote
